Is it possible to add 50lbs in one month to your bench? Seen an article that said if you did their workout you could put on 50lbs to your bench in just one month....
Thoughts?
Thoughts?
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
50+ To Bench in Month?

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
If you can hit me up with your secrets. Cuz thats an increase of 10 pounds per week even if its a 4 week month that would be an increase of 40 pounds, thats still gonna be alot to chew on. But hey I could be wrong can someone correct me if I am? But then again there are crazy noob gains...

It's possible. The only case I can think of is if you have a super solid base then take a month or two off. Then when you start again you can get built back up pretty quick (speaking from experience.)
Or else if you've never trained before and are a weak bastard with a lot of muscle fiber (I've seen guys go from 155 to 205 within several weeks.)
But I'd be HAPPY if I could add 50 by Thanksgiving!!!! (without roids)

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

I have to apologize it actually says 45lbs not 50.
here is the joust of what they are saying to gain that much of an increase.
Not everyone will get that gain, and you have to have a very sound diet w/Nitro Tech.
No breaks in your workouts and no weak days.
The workout. HEAVY!
Heavy Bench Press:
2 Warm up sets x 10 to 12 reps *warm-up*
1 Workout set x 6 to 8 reps *absolute muscle failure*
1 Drop set x 12 to 15 reps *explosively*
Incline dumbbell Press:
3 Sets x 8 to 10 reps
Low Cable Cross-overs:
3 Sets x 8 to 10 reps
Dips:
3 Sets x 8 to 12 reps *if you can do more use weight belt.
I use Cell Tech and Nitro Tech so I am going to give it a shot....After my 12 weeks. I will post a log. Seems kinda low but if the weight is big and I got a spotter I think it may at least be a good break from the norm.
If anybody tries it before me (I have 10 more weeks left on current routine) PLEASE post journel.
I would love to jump my Bench up 45lbs. Always been the one I wanted to boost. (King Kong Chest!!!)

Hahaha that's not a very good traning regime.
Drop sets and training to failure on a regular basis will have you overtraining RAPIDLY.
Just focus on adding weight to the bar in small yet consistent manner. Buy micro plates and you can add 1kg to the bar each week and you should be able to increase your bench in a safe and manageable way very quickly.

you'll get more mileage out of squats & deadlifts in the long run, though your bench press numbers may not go up as quickly as you are drawn to. take a step back and consider your goals. why do you want to add 50 lbs. of lifting capacity to your chest? you can probably do that mostly through neuromuscular adaptation rather than increases in muscle mass (hypertrophy). I assume you're interested in adding mass rather than neuromuscular adaptation, though I could be wrong. read a-unit's sticky http://www.sosuave.net/forum/showthread.php?t=98203 if you haven't already.

I'm happy if I put on about 5lbs a week. It's POSSIBLE to put on 50 in a month, but I'm going to guess it's not very realistic.
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Hey, if you eat enough, you could easily gain 45 lbs, but thats a **** load of food. Probably not a very good idea either.

I started working out again back in july (bodybuilding) but these past couple weeks I've changed my training to focus more on strength. I do 3 sets of 5 reps for everything including bench. There's been a few times where I've been able to add 10 lbs in one workout (I do bench on tuesdays and saturdays). On wednesday I added another 10 pounds to my bench in one day (just wanted to see if I could). So in short it could be possible but maybe I'm just not adapted to training for strength yet and that could be why I have quick gains. BTW, I don't do one rep max's they tend to frustrate me more than anything. I don't know if this is important or not but I also bench with a close grip.
"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
In high school when I was seriously involved with weightlifting for the sake of strength, I increased my bench weight from 205 to 300 lbs. in a matter of minutes to compete with another guy.
The following weeks I started lifting heavy, up to 280 lbs. on bench and 800 lbs. on squat. Then again, prior to the increase I was probably lifting far below my capacity due to being grouped with thin and lanky weightlifting partners.
Damn, I need to get my fat ass back into a gym. I miss that excitement!
Edit: Oh my god, I miss that excitement. I'm getting a membership as soon as I get back from this weekend's series of parties.

That's some serious weight dude.
It helps to be crazy. I miss those mornings of physical education with two girls wrapped in my arms, at the waist... That's always a good way to start the routine. I remember during lifting the class usually had music playing. I'd sing aloud to whatever was playing. The guys around me were clearly annoyed, my friends were embarassed, but I owned the attention of the girls during that class.donjuanjovi said:800lbs

These days I just hang out with adult entertainment entrepreneurs and hookers. But back then I felt like a king. *sigh*

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
